33 Hot Gimmick v11 by Miki Aihara
34 Hot Gimmick v12 - Well I don't wish I threw the volume 1 at the wall, it still was a frustrating read. Hatsumi is so... ARRGH! Ryoki and Azusa, GRRRRRRR! Shinogu *Rolls eyes*
There is a side story at the end with Akane, Hatsumi sister, that was a nice normal story. But, then Hot Gimmick is about mess up relationships and how people can be really cruel to each other and still love each other. If it has been normal I don't know if I would have read it, I kept reading in case Hatsumi grew a spine or maybe just to see what other messed up stuff was going to happen.
35 Ark Angels by Sang-Sun Park - The art can be so pretty, but not flowery, the character sketches at the end are a real treat. I love that the animals souls are shown in human-like forms, the Crane and the Bat are so pretty.
The story a little cheesy, but still enjoyable.
36 Let's Be Perverts by Youjung Lee - I bought this just because of the title.
A fanservicey, humor manga, with a serious side peeking out. Perverto has a bad habit of finding himself in situation where people think he's a "Pervert", but he not really, the teacher at his school is a real "Pervert" and the teacher has his eyes on a girl, who's has some kind of problems of her own...
37 Emma V2 by Kaoru Mori - Instead of volumes of the same rehash of the "can they get together" story, this one has a nice little story, before it comes to a ends with Emma and William moving in seperate directions, making you want to know what happens next.
38 ElfQuest Archives V1 by Wendy and Richard Pini - I've heard lots of great things about ElfQuest and they are all right!
I was a little skeptical at first, but the characters grew on me. The story, the setting, all fleshed out, even the mythology in here seems already set up. You can't help but want to follow and want what's best for Cutter and his clan, even when they act foolish. Wendy redid the coloring for this reprinting, (it was 1st printed in B&W, then reprinted twice more recolored, with mixed results.) this last is beautifully colored, so while the drawing sometimes can seems a little old, it's still good and the coloring makes up for it.
